Why participate?

Compete against the best Swiss programmers and meet new friends from all over Switzerland!
Take home your HC2 T-shirt and cup, win prizes, enjoy the free food, and have fun!

How do I compete?

You'll participate as teams (of 1, 2 or 3 people),
trying to solve problems using a computer, by writing short programs in C, C++, Java or Python.
Your team will get one computer that you have to share, running a custom environment.
You won't have access to the Internet, except for the reference documentation of programming languages and their standard libraries.

HC2 is held at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in the BC building.
